In reply to Samantha. Cheers Samantha. Your BF needs a medal for making you a plyo box! Can I borrow him? ;)

Great workout for my Friday 😉
My boyfriend finally made me my plyo box, so the step ups worked better than the weight bench. I also just got my kbs in the mail from Neptune barbell. Unfortunately they are not sturdy enough for the renegade rows, i just used reg dumbells for those. I didn’t do the bridges at the end of the sets bc i just started the 100 push up and 50 pull up challenge yesterday and I am REALLY sore already. HOwever, the workout itself was sufficient. Thanks
take care!
Samantha

Excellent routine, put into practice is strenuous, helped me with the strength-endurance, thank you very much, you’re a fine person.

Thanks Gillian, I’m gald you’re back 🙂 I think I am in the same boat with my strength, it seems to have suffered too – but we can support each other in getting it back! Though, it does seem like your body welcomed the rest, given your lack of pain – which is a plus 😀

I was supposed to wear make-up for this? LOL. I know why you might wear make-up since the world will see you, but I could never be bothered at home!

I needed to get back into the swing of things after having been away for almost a week again, so this was perfect. I ended up using lighter weights than usual and my reps were lower — I really lost some strength and endurance. Rats!!!

There were some new kettlebells waiting for me when I got home: a 20Kg and a 12 Kg. The 12 has a hideous finish, so I am going to have to sand it down and repaint it, and while I am at it, I just might make it multi-colored, like the AOS guy does… see an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eunPWJ57zX0

This was the first time I have had two matching KBs, so I could finally appreciate the renegade rows — they are way harder when you have to balance on the bells (using DBs are easy in comparison!)

Anyway, this was a really enjoyable workout — I find it way more satisfying to do fewer rounds of lots of exercises, rather than lots of rounds of just a few exercises. The bridges were really hard to do after all that work and it was all I could do to manage 4 reps of pullups. Grrr.

Oh well, this is just Monday, so I have the rest of the week to improve!

Thanks for another great workout Marianne — this one deserves highlighting to do again.

Nice to hear from you Minnie, hope you are well ? 🙂

Glad that you’re still training away. We all need to change things up from time to time, even me 🙂

Never worry about the spelling, I know what you mean.

Fantastic workout Marianne ! I know I haven’t blogged in a while, but….
I’m still here. I’ll do my own thing on occasion . I don’t sway to far away as then these workouts would be a killer. Actually they are a killer I mean they’d be worse . Also you have posted so many workouts I really just pick and choose . There’s never a time where I’m stumped in that I dint have a workout . Even the older ines are good to go back to and see my improvement . Stay well.
Thanks

In reply to John.

LOL John, you’re wise not to wear make up 😛 It’s just a pain in the butt!

Nice work. Wish I could do 9 pull ups :/
